We have lost too many Journalists in Gaza.
This video of Saleh Al-Jafarawi and Anas Al-Sharif celebrating the first ceasefire breaks my heart.
May God have mercy on their souls 💔
We can also reveal that the frequency of Scottish Water’s testing for the chemicals has dropped sharply in the past year – from more than 200 samples a month to roughly 30.
🔴 NEW: Lochs in Orkney, the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides are among waters containing high levels of toxic pollutants with health risks known as ‘forever chemicals’.

More than half of Altadena’s trees are gone after the Eaton Fire. #CSUN’s Urban Forestry Project is raising funds to plant 300 trees and offer hands-on training in urban forestry.
Support the effort by Nov. 1!

Younger daughter and I have been working on prototypes for the small portable museums that will be in my Etsy shop soon. We’ll be making a wooden grid in each tin for the finds, there’ll be a handwritten catalogue of finds & a booklet about the neuroscience of how collecting & arranging your finds improves mental health.
The impact dinosaurs had on Earth was so big that their extinction seems to have caused dramatic and wide-ranging changes to the planet’s landscapes, such as by shifting rivers. https://t.co/G5UVslQabH
Great news: After more than 20 years of talks, the @WTO agreement to #StopFundingOverfishing has entered into force!
The deal will enable countries to protect vital fish stocks that coastal communities rely on.
Next step? Strengthening the deal.
It appears to me we have passed a major tipping point in the climate with huge impacts to Antarctica. This magnitude of temperature anomaly (image) is astounding and is likely to be part of a new long term trend. This is not about merely the possibly record stratospheric warming event over the South Pole that is starting today. It’s part of a longer term trend not thought possible and completely missed by global climate modelling. Warming of the North Atlantic Ocean’s uppermost layer has translated cross hemisphere via the Indian Ocean and now through the atmosphere into the Antarctic interior which was over + 8 degrees C (+ 15 degrees F) above the average for the date for the entire month of August (image) and is even warmer today.
This makes one wonder where most of the excess heat from the current record mega marine heatwave in the North Pacific (which is likely a new permanent annually oscillating major climate phenomenon with global climate impacts on the order of the El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO)) will go. Obviously much will go into the atmosphere this winter but a good deal will likely be transported through the atmosphere and the ocean via unusually strong mid latitude cyclones and increasingly meridional polar jet stream flow to additionally warm the already rapidly warming Arctic which saw surface air temperature anomalies of + 10 to + 15 degrees C (+18 to + 27 degrees F) above the average for the date for *3 months running* this past winter.

“ExxonMobil made 51 heatwaves at least 10,000 times more likely than in an unheated world”
ExxonMobil knew they were cooking our world 50 years ago, & CHOSE to spend decades funding doubt & denial.
People made this choice.
People who will be responsible for billions of deaths.
